Sorry to hear of the news. Thoughts and prayers to all of you during this difficult time. Joyce was my teacher at the Educators of Beauty School. I loved Joyce she was definitely my favorite!

Joyce was the night instructor at John Amico School of Beauty. I was a day student who would push hours or who had her on the floor on Saturdays. We would laugh and tell stories and the hours flew by. I knew her on,y to be smiling and full of joy. I favored an older client who always called me honey and that soon became Joyce's only name for me. On occasion in the most recent years, I would message or fb a bit with her. I feel poorly for never taking more time. I will never forget her !

Joyce, I will always remember the parties and cookouts as a child. You have known me all my life and have been a great friend of my family. You will be missed, but remembered for your kindness and understanding towards all people. God Bless for you are no longer in pain and have the freedom of the universe in Gods hand.

Dear Eddie, Becky, Thomas and family,

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. It is difficult to understand why Joyce left this earth so soon, or why she left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that Joyce is gone, but that she lived and lives within us. Joyce's life gave us all memories too beautiful to forget.

With deepest sympathy,

Dave Thollander

Joyce did my hair years ago and we recently found each other on Facebook. I saw her in her wheelchair when we drove by on the way to town. I am sorry that she had medical problems afflicting her. I remember her little boy in her beauty shop in her house. May God bless you all.
